MY STORY

My love for Pilates began about 15 years ago. I came from a corporate background and developed back pain while cycling to de-stress, which led to sciatica in my 30s, which introduced me to Pilates. I've never looked back! Actually, I can twist my back with ease now.)
I'm the proud mother of an amazing 10-year-old tomgirl who challenges me every day.
Although I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, my German ancestry may help to explain part of my work ethic as well as why I am unable to count, especially  when my clients are required to work a little bit harder!
Now, my husband and I are delighted to call gorgeous Aotearoa home.
